Patriarchy Stress Disorder is an interesting look at how women have been traumatized by the strict gender conformity standards in a patriarchy.

Who should read this book? If you are woman wanting to find a course to happiness and fulfillment, but you feel stuck even after therapy and personal development work, you will find lots of helpful tips in this book.

Dr. Rein shares stories--both personal and from her clients--as well as pages of exercises to help you uncover and heal from your traumas.
